Guest guest Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 shrIh shrImatE rAmAnujAya namaha shrImatE nigamAntha mahadesikAya namaha shrImatE adivan satakOpaya namaha Dear Bhaktas, This is a brief note on Gitarthasangraha. Gitarthasangraha was a commentary by Alavandar on the Bhagavad Gita. This commentary is in Sanskrit. Sarvatantra Swatantrar, Swami Desikan wrote a commentary on the Gitartha Sangraha also named the same in Tamil. Uttamur Veeraraghavachar, honorifically called Abhinava Desika or the contemporary desika wrote a masterly and easily comprehendable commentary in tamil titled gita saaram. This book was published in 1966 in Tamil. Sri K Bhasyam translated it into English. This series will be translating the print edition to electronic format for two reasons. One, this is a start to one of my long term projects to make a comprehensive website on the sri sookthis of our acharyas in electronic format so as to preserve them for future generations to come. Two, this is the first brief explanatory series for the other two series on gita to follow. The following two will be detailed commentaries. I am hoping this series will serve as a base to understand the other two. Regards, Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan, Malolan Cadambi [ I believe Sri Uttamur Swami's Tamil work on the Gita was entitled 'gitArtham'. -- Moderator ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
